Visa, American "Express"

I always wanted to visit America again. Mostly out of some certain false impressions collected over a virus that occurred in my internal search systems....but that's another story.

Anyway, My dad and I bought tickets from the "Expensive tickets r us" airline, Yugoslavia's Commercial Airline.(We wanted to buy tickets from Deathtrap Airlines but they sold out on parachutes). Oh and America's visa took 50 days to process.Talk about efficiency.

So we went on the plane a couple of weeks ago. It took a mere 14 hours for travel(It's not as slow as you may think.You've need to put the size of the globe and the amount of countries that threatened to bomb airplanes within a 100-mile radius of their claimed territory in perspective). Of course, the guy who sold us tickets never mentioned that the time taken for travel doesn't include the customs at the checkpoint.

So we waited in the line. And waited. And waited even more. I managed to count to my three thousandth and forty-fifth above-average sized hair when we got in front. So we finally managed to talk with the customs official. He's called Clementi. I don't know, but for some reason, I think I heard the name before. Something that also relates to travel(wonder what).
He asked my father some questions about his job and then wanted to talk to me.

"So you lived in Yugoslavia for a few years, eh?", he said in a Southern accent.
Me:Yeah, that's what it said on the passport.
My flat-out reply was lost to him.Maybe he's used to wise guys.
Clementi:I need to ask you about some serious terrorist issues
Me:Oh. Why don't you ask my father
Clementi:It deals with people about your age.Are you Korean?
Me:Chinese by race, actually.
Clementi:Excuses,excuses.Have you heard of the school shooting incidents recently?
Me:It's not really recent, but yeah.
Clementi:Well, I'm telling you straight up-front that the United States of America considers this policy both unethical and illegal.
Me.So?and btw, I am Chinese
Clementi: So if any of you Koreans try it again-
Me:I'm Chinese
Clementi:Whatever. So what's your excuse for coming to America?\
Me:political asylum?
Him:Invalid. Still doesn't explain why-
Me:I am @#$%ing Chinese!
Clementi: Fine,fine.I believe you this time. But next time you try that type of excuse, you wouldn't be so lucky to meet a checkpoint official as flexible as I am.Passed

He then went on to lecture a couple from the Philippines why the US support Israeli over Palestine
